But what is actually happening in the bitten -off areas? Are the Jap- anese entirely the victors? Cap- tain E. F. Carlson of the United States Marine Corps who has trav- elled with Chinese soldiers 2,000 miles through "conquered terri- tory," supplies the answer. Esti- mating that at least 600,000 Chi- nese soldiers operate in the occu- pied areas, he declares the Japs control only garrisoned towns, rail- way lines and main highways. Cap- tain Carlson tells how Chinese bands cross Japanese lines with ease, raid Japanese bases to get supplles. Chinese guerrillas have set up well-functioning administra- tions, he says, which do everything from harrying the Japanese to keeping schools open. Able-bodied men aro being constantly trained for the guerilla armies, whose mor- ale is high. Under such circumstances It would seem that the Chinese are not capable of being defeated. ANOTHER DEPRPESSION? —The recession which struck the United States in the fall of 1937 soon had its effect on .Canadian business, produced ]fere what amounted al- most to a major depression. Slight upswings, however, were felt in the kite spring of this year and during the summer. I -Lopes rose. Now the sad prediction comes 'Com England (made by Sir MU- LTI Beveridge, prominent lawyer, economist and head of the London School of Economics) that another do pression will soon be smother- i•c g business in the United King- dom. Says Sir William: "The his- tory of the first stages of the last d^pression (1929) is being repeat- ed today. In figures for 94 indus- tries a comparison between the on- set of the last depression and the beginning of the present slump shows a striking measure of agree- ment, subject to minor differences arising from armament expendi- ture and other special causes." Can our bumper wheat crop save Canada from following In the Old Country's wake? But cheer up—predictions don't nit.ays conte true! TWO ASSURANCES— Canadians were thrilled, the rest of the world tat up and took notice last week ;then President Roosevelt, in his historic address at Queen's Univer- iity, Kingston, gave to Canada the r•ssurance that "the people of the United States will not stand idly by if domination of Canadian soil is threatened" by any foreign bower. "We are good neighbors r,nd good friends . . . " By way of reciprocating the Pre- Aiclent's Good Neighbor policy, ]'rime Minister Mackenzie King proclaimed Canada's acceptance of responsibility for her own protec- tion. Canada intends, he declared, to "keep on going forward" in pre- parations for her national defense, and will see to It that enemy forces never cross this country by land, sea or air to attack the United States. Something concrete, there. THE WEEK'S QUESTION — What part of Canada gets longer p.nd shorter successively, as the years go on? Answer—Point Pelee—Lake Erie Is continually building up and tear- ing down this southernmost tip of Canada as the water level rises rtsad falls. Canada's Navy Grows Larger Four Destroyers And As Many Mine Sweepers Being Added Launching at Quebec In August of H,.M.C.B. Gaspe saw the third of Canada's four minesweepers, built to replace the ancient trawl- ers which had served in that ca- pacity since the war, take the wa- ter. The fourth, H.M.C.S. Nootka, will be launched at North Vancou- ver later this month, The Fundy and the Comox have been sent down the ways and all four will likely be in commission before the end of the year. Soon In Commission About the last week in August the Royal Canadian Navy was strengthened further when the two destroyers, Restigouche and Otta- wa, arrived from England. They will be stationed at Esquimalt. The new destroyers are of the "C" class and were on the Royal Navy establishment as H.M.S. Cru- sader and H.M.S. Comet. The Comet which has been serving on the Mediterranean anti -piracy pa- trol, was returned -to Chatham, England, three months ago, for re- fitting. At that base she joined the Crusader. Both were taken over by the Canadian Naval Depart- ment in June. Dictators Play Waiting Game Professor of Social Research Says They're Biding Their Time—Attitude Is That Brit- ain Holds Losing Cards The Fascist dictatorships—Italy and Germany—are playing a wait- ing game, believing the British Empire holds losing cards, accord- ing to Dr. Bans Simons, New York professor of social research, who spoke to the political and business leaders gathered for the Canadian Institute of Economics and politics at Geneva Park, Lake Couchiching. Hitler and Mussolini have mis- interpreted the transformation of the British Empire into the Brit- ish Commonwealth of Nations, Dr. Simons asserted. Convinced ns they are that a strong political organization cannot be based on a system of free co-operation and association, the dictators see signs of decay and weakness in the British attitude. Want British Possessions This view has led Hitler to withhold his demands for the re- turn of Germany's war -lost colon- ies, Dr. Simons believed. Hitler is willing to wait while Mussolini builds up his Mediterranean forti- fications near Britain's strong- holds. When the time is ripe, he said, the Fascist powers believe they will be well prepared to an- nex former British possessions with a maximum of efficiency and a minimum of effort. During his recent tour of Eur- ope his only positive observations was an alignment of defensive forces against Germany, said Dr. Simons. "France is concerned primarily with maintaining the sta- tus quo while England wants peace at almost any price," he added. He found a "prevalent fatalism, lack of productive thinking and implications on the part of Euro- pean citizens and statesmen alike."

Many on Prairies Never Held Jobs McGill Investigator Finds Ser- ious Situation in Canadian West Twenty thousand young Hien and women in the Prairie Provinces have never been employed at steady work, Albert S. Duncan, a member of the Social Research De- partment of McGill University, Montreal, found during a two-year survey of the West's unemploy- ment situation. The West's greatest problem, he found, was the need of permanent jobs for 100,000 employable but un- employed wage earners. Most Are Young People Forty thousand of them are un- employed but employable wage earners who aro at present receiv- ing relief, he said in an interview. Another 40,000 are unemployed but employable persons not receiving relief. They live by part time earnings,. savings•a.ncd other means. The remaluing'r 20y19,01 unemployed are young men and'wpmen. Mr. Duncan, en route east after spending a holiday in Banff, said that the total 'of 100;000 does not include 45,000 fariners who have been on relief in the Prairie Pro- vinces. Mr. Duncan urged a long-range planning program for the care of the jobless, the Dominion Govern- ment to assume responsibility for relief and introduce a system of unemployment insurance. NAMES in the NEWS SAM SNEAD In a thrilling exhibition of sub- par golf the battle for the Cana- dian Open • Golf Championship came to a close • at Mississauga course last week with Sam Snead, super -slugger of White Sulphur Springs, W. Va., victor over Harry Cooper, of • Chicago, defending titleholder. • Climaxing what was undoubted- ly the greatest open tournament ever staged by the Royal Cana- dian Golf Association, Snead and Cooper went twenty-seven holes before a winner and new champion was declared. Originally sched- uled as an eighteen -hole playoff, it had to be lengthened nine more because the two starry shotmakers finished the first eighteen hole tied with scores of 67, five under par. On the extra nine holes, Snead snared four birdies for a s'bore of 34, two below par, defeat- ing- Cooper by a five -stroke mar- gin. Snead, a 26 -year-old profes- sional, said to be the longest -hit- ting golfer on this continent, re- ceived the $1,000 first -prize cheque and the Seagram gold cup. The crowd, too, got their mon- ey's worth watching the brilliant playoff. Italy will spend $1,300,000 to entourage cotton growing 111 Ethi- opia.

THE WONDERLAND OF OZ OUR BEAUTIFUL GiRLS An Englishman in town or busi- ness recently was impressed with the profusion of beautiful girls in Toronto . . . so many more and more beautiful than the girls in England. He did hint that the beauties in Toronto were a bit uniform, adapting the same hair - dress and make-up, but neverthe- less attractive. All this has been said before, but here is something new. The hectic lives of Canadian men, engrossed in business, made it necessary, he thought, for the women to concentrate on their ap- pearance in order to "get" their man. This didn't hold in the leis- urely lives of the English. — To- ronto Star. The EMPIRE THEY HAVE THEM IN INDiA It is painfully clear that no amount of advice and propaganda will influence traffic hogs in Bom- bay. The only way to bring them to their senses is to impress on them the knowledge that every time they err they are liable to he severely punished; at present they have no such fear. The mat- ter, in view of the number of ac- cidents in the city, is one which intimately affects the safety and lives of the citizens, and deserves the attention of the Bombay Gov- ernment.—Times of India, Boni- -bay. When Aunt Em and Uncle Henry were all dressed, Dorothy took them through the beautiful rooms of the palace. She also showed them her own pretty rooms. Then they went into the back yard and after walking along a winding path for some distance through the beautiful garden, they came to an attractive little house where a Yellow Hen sat on the front porch sunning herself. Copyrighted 1932, Reilly h Lee G. "Good morning, Dorothy," call- ed Billina, from her perch on the railing around the front porch. I was expecting you to call on me for I heard you had come back and brought your uncle and aunt with you." "We are here for good and all this time, Billina," cried Dorothy, happy to see the hen once more. "And Uncle Hen- ry and Aunt Em belong in Oz as much now as I do." "Then they ate very lucky peo- ple," declared Billina. "But come, dear, I must show you all my Dor- othys.

Io:kets v.ith Dorothy wanted to slay and play with the little chickens for a while, but Uncle Henry and Aunt Em had not seen the palace grounds and were eager to• get better acquainted with the marvel- ous land in whi=rr they were to live. So they left for a walk, Dor- othy set her foot on the steps of the hen's cottage and immediately became small enough to enter the little door. Road 'La Pacific From Peace River Resider)? of That Far Northern H[strict Have Started own ighway Expected to be the Shortest Rin;; V.",^-;otwoE It looked like the only way to got a road to the Pacific Coast, so residents of tho Peace River dis- trict took up their picks and shov- els—and started to build their own highway across the Rocky Moun- tains. They call It the Monkman Pass Highway. Backing it are 150 -odd branches of the Monkman Pass Highway Association In British Co- lumbia and Alberta. Members hope they can drive the first truck across the summit by early au- tumn. Then there will be plenty of work smoothing off the rough spots and making a permanent roadbed before general traffic can travel the route with ease. Through Monkman Pass Alex. Monkman, Wembley, Alta., farmer and formerly a fur trader, discovered the pass in 1922. The ground rises on the east to an al- titude of 3,500 feet—just about the same sleight above sea level as Cal- gary—and drops off easily on the Pacific side. On both sides of the pass mountains rise 8,000 and 9,000 fent. The roadbuilders—mostly volun- toors, but with a few men paid $1 a day and board—have the backing of railway surveyors In their selec- tion of a route. In 1929 tho Cana- dian Pacific and Canadian National Railways made a joint survey when they considered building a railroad into the wheat -producing Peace River district to provide an outlet to the coast, The highway follows almost ex- actly the lines of that survey. Last year a civil engineer retraced It and mapped out the highway trail. Australia Called Fishing Paradise The Industry Has Never Been Exploited in Home Waters There—Teeming Wealth of Finny Prey Zane Grey, famous novelist and big game fisherman, once sail: "Australia is trot only an ideal fish- ing centre—it is the borne of fi;h."

Like the Nogapotsano, the Tin - Tin is no mythical nlnster. it looks like a cross between a don- key and a giant lizard—and the most uncanny thing about this dra- gon -like monster is that It loaves footprints in the sand exactly like those of a child of about 15. Tliat It really does exist is vouched for by an Englishman in Ecuador who recently followed the creature's spoor through desolate sand -dunes until he lost them in the pampas. A week later he actu- ally saw the Tin -Tin. It was grey with black stripes, and had a long tail and a small head. Seeing It was being watch- od, It reared up on Its hind legs, grunting weirdly, made off for the woods at a great speed. Tho "child's" footprints where It had been struiding were identical with the footprints that natives in the district have cone to regard with terror. Our language is changing, says a London expert who declares he has found that in the last twenty years 170,000 words were added while 50,000 "passed out".

Hidden Waters In The Desert British Engineers Have Bored Down Into Jordan Valley's Arid Land and Found Oases, The arid desert of Palestine has yielded water in abundance. This amazing news was brought by Brit- ish Government engineers who bor- ed the parched Negeb Desert -and struck water in profuse streams, It this water is found on analysis to be pure, it will be used for lnrgc•scale artificial irri':ation in the dry Beersheba and Gaza regi- ons. Eleven hosing planes are hard at work on desert land in the Jordan Valley neighbourhood, and altogeth- er 30 deep wcils have yielded water, 'Pile results of analytical tests on such water are not yet known. If they prove favorable, the farming problems of Arabs and Jews in Pal- estine may be greatly reduced, What Science * Is Doing * SEARCH FOR "SNIFF -METER" Invention of a "sniff -meter" still baffles the best inventive genius of the world, it was dis- closed at McGill University, Mont- real, last week. Science has accomplished mar- vels in the accurate measurement of most things which register on the various human senses, but it still cannot produce anything which measures smells. The detection and elimination of odors constitutes a practical prob- lem. For instance, in schools, it is found necessary to circulate some 30 cubic feet of air per student through classrooms though all that is necessary to eliminate carbon dioxide and supply ade- quate oxygen is four cubic feet.

EVERGREEN PLANTING Taking everything into consid- eration, late August or early Sep- tember is the best time to trans- plant coniferous (cone -bearing) evergreens, While spring trans- planting at the time new growth begins is feasible, the plants oft- en suffer due to the fact that new slow-growing roots are not abun- dant enough to supply the mois- ture demand of the new top growth. Fall planting does not in- cur these consequences, for very little or no top growth is formed at this season, while the roots are particularly active. This gives the roots a good chance to become thoroughly established by the time heavy demands are made upon then` to support new growing tips. The exception to this rule is hemlocks, which do best if trans- planted in the spring, Late fall planting always is followed by a high mortality rate, as under this condition the plants enter the freezing periods of the year with- out new roots having a chance to develop and become thoroughly settled in their new position. Warm Soil Stimulates Roots Early autumn planting, further- more, has the advantage of fall- ing into a period when the soil still is quite warm and this factor as well -as an abundance of soil moisture stimulates vigorous root action, Under no circumstances should the plants be placed in dry, hot soil, and excavation of the planting hole should take place shortly after an Abundant rain. COLDFRAME HELPS BIENNIALS The time has arrived to think of sowing seed of some of the quicker -growing biennials such as Sweet -Williams, English Daisy (Bellis) and Forget-me-nots (My- osotis), The coldfr'ame is a most useful adjunct to give the plants special care, since regular water- ing and shading are essential to develop n satisfactory stand of sturdy seedlings. DROUGHT RESISTANT Truly drought -resistant plants always are welcome in regions where summer Is sure to be hot and dry, While there are many good plants that have this quality, several species of Il;udbeckia ac- tually seem to flourish under such conditions. Perhaps the most showy of them is Rudbeckia bi- color super'ba, a hardy annual of easiest culture with flowers that measure up to three inches in diameter, St. Elmo's Fire On Great Lakes St. Elmo's fire, a rarity on Lake Ontario, struck the Rochester - bound yacht Vision some 12 hours out of Toronto, one day last week, To the amazement of the crew of five aboard the ship, the bluish flames rats up and down the shrouds, the mast and yard arms. One member of the crew, thinking the ship afire, attempted to extln- gufslr the apparent blaze with a fire extinguisher, the skipper re- ported, Only tete lee side, Skipper Wood - born Thompson said, was without the unusual electrical display nam- ed after St. Elmo, patron saint of sailors. Of a flamelike appearance, St, Elmo's fire or light is seen usually only In stormy weather. More fre- quent in the tropics, It is of the nature of a brush discharge of elec- tricity, reddish when positive, blu- ish when negative. ing, are reported to have discov- ered a new physiological fact in their study of artificial respiration for drowning persons. The Health League of Canada announces that an article in the September issue of the Journal, of the Canadian Medical Association states that in a large proportion of drowning cases a laryngeal spasm develops which prevents air getting into the lungs even with artificial respiration. It has already been observed in post-mortem examination of drowned persons that frequently no water was found in the lungs, the article states. The explana- tion of this fact was learned to be the action of the body's nor - may protective machinery which prevents access of water or food to the lungs during swallowing. In cases of drowning the same mechanism was said to operate and may persist as a spasm after the victim has been taken from the water, Thus artificial respir- ation is rendered ineffective. GERMAN SUPER -MICROSCOPE Magnift;ation up to 30,000 times is made possible by a new super microscope invented by two Geo - man scientists, according to re- ports from Berlin. The inventors, Dr, Bodo von Bottles and Dr, Ernst Burke, utilize electron rays having a 100,000 voltage current in their instrument. INSECTS COLOR -MINDED Insects are attracted by lights, but have preferences in colors, If lights of a variety of colors are exposed at night, insects o: par- ticular kinds will be found in greatest numbers flitting around the light which has the greatest color appeal for thein, General Electric engineers observing the new sodium lights installed on a bridge at Clinton, Iowa, noted that the shad flies of that neigh- borhood did not like the brilliant pure yellow of the sodium lamps nearly so well as the almost white and equally brilliant incandescent lamps used on the bridgehead. The insects were recently found piled six inches deep under the incan- descent lamps, but only one inch deep under the sodium lamps. The red end of the spectrum is much less attractive to insects than the blue end. Insects apparently have a wider range of vision than hu- man beings, as they appear to see the ultra -violet light, which is in- visible to us but to which many insects are strongly attracted.

The BOOK SHELF, By ELIZABETH EEDY VAGABOND VOYAGING By Larry Nixon This book, as its subtitle states, tells "The Story of Freighter Travel." But "story" is an inade- quate word. Larry Nixon gives his readers much more than the story of the freighter ship's acquisition of passenger ac;'om- modations and growth in passen- ger popularity; he gives them pre- cisely the information they need if they want to go vagabond voy- aging themselves; and he stakes them want to. The list of freight- er routes and lines covers eighty- one pages at the back of his hook, and in addition there are ''real" freight ships which definitely do not take passengers. The book deals, however, not with these freight ships which are freight ships only, but with those which do carry passengers, for a moderate price and in acceptable comfort. It's a matey way of trav- eling. It's leisurely. It's simple, of course. But most freighters are well kept, many of them are new; they go to interesting places, they have no inside rooms -Oh, there's a lot to be said for freighter trav- el. Larry Nixon says it clearly, attractively and sensibly, in an in- viting and practical book.

A decision which is sometimes dif- ficult for the grower to make is in re- gard to the proper time to harvest the crop for seed.

If the crop is cut after a severe frost, not only is the germanability of the seed lowered but the sample will con- tain much discoloured seed resulting in a lower commercial graae. ALFALFA INCREASES PRODUCTION The alfalfa plant is remarkable for Its ability to increase production along more lines than one. As a soil building crop it has few rivals. Its deep root• ing characteristic enables it to make uses of plant food reserves in the sub- soil, and being a legume, it enriches Mr. and Mrs. the soil with nitrogen through the ac- lire, Knechtel tion of nitrifying bacteria of which it with Mrs. R. is a host.

And the kiss from Mr, Charlton—an act of pity! ,That had been cheap, too, Her face was drained of life. For ]lours she lay on her bed without moving. The cocktail party went on, with the guests making feverish efforts to cover up the disappearance of Miss Mudge and Joan. Only Dick went out, after catching the eye of the captain. Angela shook herself clear of the horror she had gone through. Captain Baring took out his vio- lin and settled it tenderly under his chin. Ile played for them, softly, Crieg and Bach. Angela sat en- tranced—not so much by the music as by the strange man who spent lonely nights on the bridge and could wring such feeling from his violin. When he had finished, he was still remote, as if his playing was a forum of self-indulgence that he did not care to share with oth- ers. He listened to their compli- ments absent-mindedly and left them without a word. Miss Mudge left the Marenia at San Francisco. She was pale and wore her glasses. Icer fringe was straight and she had given? her Spanish shawl to her stewardess.

After her tips had been paid, she had eight dollars left and her railway ticket to Ohonto. That was that! She had travelled forty thousand miles but had failed to see the world, She had spent her life's savings and would have to begin all over again. Another twen- ty years with Agatha before it was time for then to retire oa their pensions. IIer dull life lay over her like a shade. Bravely she stepped down the gangplank, knowing that glamour was only an empty word. She was sure at last that there was only one sphere in which she could move. Hereafter she would keep her wings clipped to her surround- ings, and her thoughts close to the ground. Among The Swimmers She had avoided Dick since the cocktail party. I -Ie had sent her a note, kind and detached, telling her that she must forget every word Miss Foster had said. It was now among her souvenirs—a red bal• loon, a swizzle -stick, a cheap little 'I'anagra from Athens, a small carv- ed god, her Jordan water, some ga- la favours, her autographed menus a snapshot of him at Kandy. That was all. It was good-bye, '1'Iro people with whom she had chatted on deck and at table, ex- changing addresses and promising lifelong friendship, had been too busy with their own affairs to no- tice her undistinguished departure, There were two exceptions. Mrs. \Vynant had been cordial, inviting her to visit her home in England, and Miss Aundel had kissed her warmly, promising to send her some wedding cake. Miss Mudge fluttered along the pier. She had to get through the customs, but pain was fogging her vision, and the dragging weight deep in her in- side, was getting worse each min- ute, For twenty years she had looked forward to her trip around the world. Now it was over, and she had nothing. She stumbled against a trunk and wiped the tears from her eyes, It was too late for her to see that Dick was watching her as she wan- dered with uncertain steps among the packing -cases on the wharf. His glance was kind, but he was think - Ing that it was far, far better for Miss Mudge to be stepping back into her lustreless frame at Ohouto, Wisconsin. Ile had avoided Miss lludge since the cocktail party, but only because she seemed to be keeping deliberately out of his way, and he had taken his cue from her, There was nothing he could say to her, nothing at all, The orchestra was playing. Its languid notes carne drifting up from the ballroom, Patty's hand stole through Johnny's arm. He squeez- ed it hard, Life Just Opening Up "Good kid!" he whispered, and kissed the tip of her ear. Patty sighed. '1 love the swish of the sea in my ears. Life will seem so quiet, Johnny, when we're on land again. "Life is just opening up for Pat- ty," said Angela, watching her af- fectionately. "1 hope there's something in Johnny, for Patty is a fine girl," Macduff declared, "1 think there is, Macduff. You're a little hard on the young." "Intolerable puppies, all cheek and ignorance!" Angela laughed. '•I've got rather fond of those two. I shall always wonder about them. When you're thrown together on a trip like this, and share the sort of things that we have shared, you get more attached to people than you would in thirty years at hone." "I wonder what's happened to the Langford woman," said Mac - duff, irrelevantly. "She's probably not with Rum- ford by now, but she did all the damage she could while she was on the boat. She comes from New York, doesn't she? You may run inti her some tinge." "Angela," Macduff bent over, "would you ever want to live in New York?" "Never."

You Can't Always Trade On Looks Women Must Learn to Develop Other Qualities The once•beautifui woman who hates and feat's the age signs that her mirror is beginning to reflect can do a lot for herself, Not by feverishly applying lo- tions and creams and henna rinses. The things she can do for herself have nothing to do with her fading beauty—except indirectly. She might say to herself, "Look here, now, You've had beauty for thirty years—and it did a great deal for you. It gave you a gay, happy, unworried girlhood, It played its part in giving you the man you love, it—in short—ryas your start. Something To Take Their Place "But there is a lot of life left to be lived. And beauty is going to play a smaller and smaller part in it. So you will have to find something to take its place." For, once she realizes that beau- ty is a quality that can be traded on only for a few years, a sensible woman starts in, if she has neglect- ed it before, to build some other attractive quality that will be more lasting than prettiness, Charm Of Maturity She will make herself compani- onable, so, that she can hold the people her beauty attracted. She will learn how to keep the hours when she is alone, from be- ing lonely hours. She will learn to admire, instead of sitting back waiting to be admir- ed. She will find some work or cause that she believes is strong enough to work for—something bigger than she is. And instead of growing hard and cold and bitter from fear and dis- content, she will gain a loveliness that has nothing to do with youth- ful beauty—but is the special charm of a happy, nature woman, English People Living Longer British Women's Expectation Of Life Is 211/2 Years Greater Now Than in 1910, Statistics Show. The average Englishwoman of 40 can now expect another 32.92 years of life, 21/1 years more titan a wo- man of the sante age could have expected in 1910. So says the Lea- gue of Nations statistical year -book for 1938, just published at Geneva. The .40 -year-old Englishman is not quite so fortunate, 1 -le can ex- pect only another 29,87 years, as compared with 27.74 years' expec- tation of a 40 -year-old in 1910, But in the matters of longevity, women always do better than Wren, Nobody is certain just why; one theory is that women's tissues are more resilient than men's, and re- pair more easily. Another theory advanced only by men, Is that wo- men have easier, less worrying, la- zier lives." Keeps Going Up Whatever the reason, however, all life statistics prove that females live longer than males, among hu- man beings. And In this country all human lives averaged out are getting longer. Sh' Kingsley Wood, then minister of Health, pointed out last year that when a boy is born he Inay expect to live for 59 years, whereas in 1S71 he could expect only 40 years, and in 1910 only 512. A girl born now has an expecta- tion of life of G3 years; in 1S71 it was 4;i1/1, in 1910, 551/2, Jacket Costume For Any Daytime Event The distinctive simplicity of a gracefully tailored jacket costume makes it charmingly adaptable to any daytime occasion throughout the autumn. Of smooth sheet, in pale maize, the suede dress is cut on slender lines with a slightly flared hemline, and the smart bol- ero jacket is just short enough to show off the gay, Roman -striped faille sash, It's shown with a navy cartwheel and navy pumps to match one of the colors in the sash.

Also, one pair of shields does for several dresses. To save a lot of hard scrubbing when a man's shirt cuffs get very soiled, try dipping them in made starch before soaking the shirt. The dirt cones out quite easily after this treatment and the cuffs aren't weakened by constant scrubbing. Store pickles in small jars in- stead of in a few large ones. If you use big ones, you may find that the solid pickles rise above the vinegar and go musty, Try fastening down your jam pot cov- ers with a strip of wide adhesive tape instead of string - it makes the jars absolutely air -tight, The bottled fruit will have corks in- stead of covers. Boil those corks and press them into the bottle while they are still hot. When they cool, they will swell a little and become really tight. Apply cold water at once to blood stains and they will come out, Coffee stains require boiling water poured through them, also at once --so do fruit stains, Cocoa stains like to be washed in cold water first and then boil- ing water poured through them, Many people have furniture made of the new woods —limed, or pickled—and quite a number ruin it by not knowing how to clean it, Both lamed and pickled woods do not require more than dusting and rubbing with dry, clean cloths.

Today manufacturers re- port that most women in the Unit- ed States and Canada buy approxi- mately 20 pairs of silk stockings annually, paying from 50 cents to $1.95 a pair for them. This Includes you who are reading this curled up comfortably on the chesterfield! Then again, in the early 1900's, it was fashionable to wear a stock- ing made up of silk to the knee. Froin the knee to the garter line, cotton was used, but statistics do not show whether this was by yea - son of the manufacturers trying to be fair to both the silk worm and the boll weevil, The heavier the silk, the more expensive the stock- ing.

"Mere man is beset with so many «Making Coffee That's Good By KATHARINE BAKER Prevalent as is the use of cof- fee in this country, it is surprising how seldom one is served a really delicious cup of coffee either in homes or restaurants, If you get, poor coffee in a restaurant you' feel that your money has been wasted and though one never criticizes hospitality, it is disap- pointing to find a hostess who serves pale, wishy-washy tasteless liquid and calls it coffee. The question of coffee -making is important because it is made as often if not oftener than any other drink. And it's just as easy to make good coffee as poor cof- fee, Behind properly made coffee, whether it's boiled, drip or perco- lated, there are certain fundamen- tal rules, You must have a good blend of coffee; it ntust be fresh, the grind must be right and then it should be carefully measured and properly brewed. Coffee made any old way may pass but to get a fragrant, steam- ing cup of; rich and satisfying cof- fee, it must be made according to a recipe. hor those who feel there is room for improvement in the coffee they serve, we are giving the rules for making boiled, (hip and percolated coffee. BOILED COFFEE Use 1 heaping tablespoon ground coffee and tablespoon beaten egg for each cup (1,f; pint) cold water. Combine coffee and egg in pot and mix thoroughly. Pour in water and bring slowly to a boil, stirring coffee down occa- sionally, Remove from fire im- mediately and let stand in warns place 3 to 5 minutes. Pour cup cold water into pot to settle, Strain from grounds through a fine wire strainer, muslin, or cheesecloth, (13oile4 coffee may also be prepared without egg but it is less clear.) To get the best boiled coffee, it shouldn't be boiled. By keeping it under boil- ing point all the good flavors and none of the unpleasant ones are brought out. DRIP COFFEE Drip coffee is practically fool proof but a few pointers should be noted in preparing it. Use an all-purpose or drip grind, Use 1 heaping tablespoon coffee for each cup of boiling water. Pre- heat drip coffee pot. Put coffee in upper compartment of poi. Pour fresh- briskly boiling water over it. Cover and let stand in warm place until all water has dripped through once. Remove upper com- pai tntent and cover pot. Keep hot until served by placing in pan of boiling water or on ail asbestos mat over a low flame. PERCOLATED COFFEE Percolated coffee is probably the most generally made because it's so easy, but the right method is apt to be neglected, The start- ing point is to have all parts of the coffee pot spotless and shin- ing. Use 1 heaping tablespoon ground coffee for each cup (?.:,, pint) of cold water. Pour cold water into pot, Set percolator bas- ket in pot and put coffee in it, Cover. Let percolate slowly and gently 10 to 15 minutes. Whenet'ee we have tasted a cul) of perfect coffee, no matter what the method of making it was, we know that behind it is a history of a good blend; freshness; prop- er preparation and an immaculate- ly clean coffee pot. 'That's why it's impossible to say which of the three methods is best—they're all best when properly glade.

How to Remove Grit Flom Eye Try Inserting Soaked Flax Seed Under the Lid Ever had grit in your eye? Well, there is a man who specializes in removing obstacles from the eye. He is Dr. Joseph Minton, who states that of the 10,000 eye-iujur- les suffered by industrial workers, 80 per cent. are preventable. 11e was resident surgeon of the Royal Eye Hospital, London, England, in 1936 and is now pressing unions and workmen to take action to safeguard their sight. And talking of grit, another Doc- tor, J. F. McKenna, trainer of the Canadian ice Hockey team, always carries about a few flax seeds in an envelope. If a person gets a tiny bit of steel or grit in an eye, he soaks a couple of flax seeds in water for a few minutes and Inserts them under the eyelid. 'filen ho advises the patient to lie down for 15 minutes, and at the end of that tune the flax seeds swell and work their way to one corner of the eye, taking the grit with thein.

Anti Samuel, Where had Samuel been all of these years, and what had he been doing? How we should like to know definitely! Already his fame as a prophet had spread throughout the land, and the Israelites, though depressed, were inclined to listen to Ills words more than to the words of any other leader of their day. Levity, Nazirite, prophet, he pos• sessed every qualification for at• treating respect and acting as teacher, A lite of holiness and self denial, consistent in every par. tieular, well known to all Israel, carried with it an authority that .could not be ncicnowledged by ev. .ery real Israelite, Spake unto all the house of Israel,.sayiug, if }'o do return unto Jehovah with all your heart, then put away the for. eign gods and the Aslitaroth from among you, and direct your hearts unto Jehovah and serve him only; and he wait deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines. At Ra- inah, where his influence was great- est, he raised an altar and per- formed the worship of Jehovah with such faithful Israelites us he could find to joln hien. Steadily and warily he ?von his way into the hearts of Itis countrymen, With unwearied zeal he went up and down among them from ono end of the land to the other reproving, rebuking, exhorting.

Paganism Put Away 4, Then the children of Israel did put away Baalim and the Aehtar- oth and served Jehovah only, It Is a great day for any family, for any man, for any nation, when strange gods, false deities, idols of every kind, are definitely put away, 5. And Samuel said, Gather all Is- rael to Mlzpah, and I will pray for you unto Jehovah. "Mlzpah" means watchtower, and was the meeting - place of the national assembly. It was located in the tribe of Benja- min, 6, And they gathered together to Mlzpah. And drew water, and pour- ed it out before Jeohvalt, and fast. ed on that day, and said there, We have sinner against Jehovah,. And Samuel judged the children of Is- rael in Mlzpah. The pouring forth of water may have implied that they poured from their full hearts fruits of penl- tence and tears; that they desired by the heaviness of their grief to wash their land free from the ac- cumulated evil of the past years, Here is probably the first time In twenty years that Israel made a public confession of her sin, Defeat of the Philistines 7, And when the Philistines heard that the chlldreu of Israel were gathered together to Mlzpah, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the children of Israel heard It, they were afraid of the Philistines. 8, And the children of Israel said to Samuel, Cease not to cry unto Je- hovah our God for us, that he will save us out of the hand of, the Philistines, 9, And Samuel took a sucking Boob, and offered it for a whole burnt -offering unto Jehovah: and Samuel cried unto Jehovah for Israel; and Jehovah answered him, How altogether different is the condition of Israel now from what it was twenty years before this when they suffered defeat at the hands of the Philistines! Then they had only the symbol of God's gracious presence, now they had the reality. 'Then their spiritual guides were the wicked Ilophnl and Phlnehas; now their guide was holy Samuel, 10. And as Samuel was offering up %the burnt -offering, the Phil's. 7 THIS CURIOUS WORLD BFerguson c.wily•11.111 I.4 iu i,..x,.,, iI ITIS I UNL4WiPUL TO WRITE ' CHECKS FIR, LESS THAN ONCE COLLAR.

POP --A Static Condition AND IF YOU DON'T VOTE 'FOR THE COLONEL Are You Listening'? By FREDDIE TEE WARING'S 20 -VOICE CHOIR On October 8, after an absence of nearly two years, Fred Waring and his Pennsylvanians return to the air augmented by an capella choir of twenty men. Waring plans to use youthful college glee clubs or other similar semi -ama- teur experienced voices. Arias from operas as well as the beat in semi -classic and popular field will constitute the basis of this new male choir singing, TOSCANINI TO CONDUCT Comprising one of the moat complete schedules in the history of Metropolitan Opera, Great Plays and the NBC Symphony Or- chestra, Arturo Toscanini will di- rect 12 of tho orchestra series which begins October 15th, WALTER DAMROSCH BACK The famous NBC "Music Ap- preciation Hour" will bo present- ed for the 11th season under the direction of music counsellor Wal- ter Damrosch. METROPOLITAN OPERA For the eighth consecutive year, radio will again afford listeners the opportunity of enjoying the greatest music dramas right in their own homes, Each Saturday the NBC Networks will carry a complete performance by the world's outstanding artists, direct tines drew near to battle against Israel; but Jehovah thundered - with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines and discomfit- ed them; and they were smitten down before Israel, The word here translated "discomfited" expresses the idea of a confusion resulting from sudden panic. 11, And the men of Isratl went out of Mlzpah, and pursued the Philistines, and smote them, untll they came under Both -car. "Stone of Help" 12, Then Samuel took a stone, and set It between Mlzpah and Shen, and called the name of it Nben•ezer, saying, Hitherto hath Jehovah helped us, The exact lo- cation of Ebenezer, the word mean- ing "the stone of help," is not known, but 1t must have boen situ• ated a few miles north of Jerusa- ieni between the cities of Mlzpah and Shen, Ebenezer was tate exact place, where, twenty years before, Israel had suffered defeat at the loss of the ark, 13. So tlio Philistines were sub• dued, and they came no more with- in the border of Israel: and the hand Jehovah was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel, From this time Sannuel was cer- tainly without any question the su- preme leader of Israel, and so he continued. to be down to the time of his death. There is a lesson here for every child of God; when we really turn to God In confession, willing to yield to him, and lie wins a victory for us in our life, as he absolutely can on every occasion, we not only recover all the terri- tory In our life which had been lost to the e1e111". 1111 1V0 ealu even u1er1'. A Wonderful Leader Samuel is worthy to stand at the side of Moses. 1t is not without reason that lie has been regarded as in dignity and Importance occu- pying the position of a second Moses in relation to the people. In his exhortations and warnings the Deuteronbinic discourses of Moses are reflected and repeated. He de- livers the nation from the hand of tlio Philistines, as Moses from Pha- raoh and the Egyptians, and opens up for theta a new national era of progress and order under the rule or the kings whom they have de. sired.

"BANDWAGON" FOR DANCERS From the smooth strains of Guy Lombardo to the swing arrange- ments of Benny Goodman, a live- ly now NBC Red Network program starts Sunday, September 4th. Other big names for this series in- cludes Lopez, Duchin, Bernie, Dor- sey and Kemp, thus giving a com- plete picture to listeners of to- day's popular music—Hot, Sweet and in between. This replaces the "Interesting Neighbors" program. "PIPE FOR BERGEN" No matter where Bergen and Charlie McCarthy spend their va- cation late this month, NBC "Mikemen" will be there with a microphone and "Pipe" him (as they call it) into his usual Sunday night broadcast, NEW RADIO SETS The latest contribution to "Mag- ic of Radio" is the spreading out of short-wave bands so that what previously had to be cramped in- to two bands has now been ex- tended to five channels ---thus pre- venting overlapping of stations— making short-wave reception as easy to tune in an local reception. This is a feature of the new 1939 DeForest Crosley, Music Master, Symphony Series. Claims Crime Is "Necessary" Psychologist Says It Keeps The World Away From Savagery —Moral Acts Those in Ac. cord With Public Welfare A prominent psychologist as- serted last week if there were no law breakers and all laws were obeyed the world would revert to savagery. In the law -breaking class lie put the Christian marytrs. ' The psychologist — Dr. Knight Dunlap, professor of psychology at the University of California at Los Angeles — championed the "necessity" of crime in an article for the forthcoming (September) issue of the California Monthly, publication of the University of California's alumni.. Some Laws Are Wrong Dr. Dunlap argued that there 'was nothing really wrong about violating a "bad" law and that the "crime" involved might even bene- fit society in the end by contribut- ing to the elimination of the im- proper statute, "If we assume that it is one's duty to promote public welfare and to avoid acts against public welfare," he said, "we can hardly avoid the conclusion that under certain circumstances it is one's duty to commit crime, This situa- tion arises because there are laws which really are detrimental to public welfare." Divorce Procession A young woman accompanied by two women friends drove through Indianapolis, Minn., trail- ing tin cans, old shoes, and ribbon streamers from her car.

S.—Liver- pool Paper Declares Trip `Almost Certainty' The Liverpool Post in its London letter last week said the King and Queen will "almost certainly" visit Canada and the United Stales dur- ing 1939, although no plans have yet been discussed and no invita- tions issued. It was understood, the column said, that Lord Tweedsmuir, Gov- ernor-General of Canada, mention- ed unofficially the possibility of a visit though an invitation from Canada would come through the Prime minister. Will Make Arrangements The column added that Lord Stanley, dominion's secretary might .' discuss arrangements with Prime Miniser Mackenzie King. At Ottawa, Mr. King recently said the King needed no invitation to visit the Dominion. Canada al- ways stood ready to welcome its sovereign. Negroes Propose African Homeland Would Ask Gifts of Territory From France and England— Liberia as Nucleus A demand that the British Gov- ernment overnment act to improve the social and econorufc lot of the negroes of tlio Nest Indies was contained in a resolution passed at the final ses- .slon of the convention of the Uni. vernal Negro Improvement Assocla• tion in Toronto last week, The resolution pointed out that 1938 was the 100th anniversary of the West Indian nogroes, and call- ed on British authorities to rescue then: front what ft termed wretched economic conditions.

They re- elected Marcus Garvey of London, Eng., President -General, and Miss Ethel Collins of New York City, Secretary. Thomas Harvey of Philadelphia, was elected Chancel- lor. Ultimate objectives of the asso- ciation is the setting up of a home- land for the negroes of the world in Africa, with the present negro State of Liberia forming the nu• cleus to which would be added ter- ritorial gifts from France and Eng- land. How Daylight Saving Began Was Adopted Generally in Eu. rope During the Great War —Called "Summer Tirae" Daylight saving was adopted in nearly every country in Europe in the second year of the War, the idea being that, by getting people up an hour earlier, there would be a great saving in fuel for lighting and heating. In many countries, however, it was drop- ped when war ended. "Summer time" is observed to- day in France, Belgium, the Neth- erlands, Spain and Portugal. Sum- mer time bills were also approved in Canada in 1934, and in New Zealand in 1927. Tho United States seems unable to make up its mind. Some states use it, while others do not. He Originated It The idea was advocated long before the war by a ChElsea (England) builder, William Will- ett. Willett was himself an early riser, and used to ride in, Pelta Wood, Chialehurst, on summer mornings before coming to town for business, Inn the evenings be It was while enjoying these recreations in 1907 that he con- ceived the idea of extending the hours of daylight available for leisure. He devoted hinisclf to a campaign, and in 1908 Mr. (af- terwards Sir Sibert) Pearce intro- duced a Bill in the British House of Commons to put the clock on by law. At first it was laughed at, but the Bill continued to come up year after year with increasing support, Willett never lived to thg r1ct, it. fork, f' " h; in ltlarcli, 1916,A lY,CRioi; i to hint now stands in Potts Wood. Summer time was introduced for the first time on May 21, 1916, but it was not until 1925 that the final anti permanent Act was passed. Nurses of Ireland threaten to organize and demand shorter hours, better pay, greater oppor- tunity for rest and recreation in off -time, and pensions after long service. Page 8.
